Blaine's Landscaping is the one you want to hire. Period. They are professional and personable and absolutely focused on accomplishing the project efficiently and with high standards. And they delivered flawlessly. I will hire them again no question. I have lived in my home for more than 20 years and used several big name landscaping companies who promised great things based on their extensive years of service and success as reflected in their shingle-clad buildings, logo-emblazoned stationery, and multi-tired staffs. Each delivered an ok job but not a quality one and I never felt I received the full value of my investment. Enter Blaine's Landscaping. They re-wrote the manual and broke the mold for landscaping service in Northern Virginia. With so many choices in this area, what distinguishes Blaine's from other landscaping services? Three things: Quality, Communication, and that Pop of Style that transforms a standard garden bed into something unique. From my first meeting with the owner, Josh Blaine, I knew this project was going to take a different approach. Laid back and engaging, Josh honed in on the goals of my project and concentrated on the details. He asked relevant questions and offered guidance to shape and improve the outcome I wanted to achieve. We closed on the terms and conditions of the contract quickly and within 24 hours he was able to assemble his team at my house to begin despite having to scramble when a couple of his original team members were unavailable. After he and I walked the property and reviewed the plan again, he walked it with his team to ensure they were clear and enable them to ask questions to clarify. One part of the project was tricky because it involved removing a segment of weeds and overgrowth from my property and distinguishing from plantings I wanted to retain all the while not affecting the plantings in my neighbor's yard which were not separated by a fence or other distinguishing boundaries. Josh's crew performed flawlessly. And it all starts at the top. Josh's style may be informal but he is a hands on leader. He ensured his team understood the project and then stepped back to let them work their magic. He stayed on top of the details checking in with his team or me via phone or in person over the course of the job. In short, he cares about the customer, the workmanship, and the overall result. Over the course of my career in government I have managed projects and managed people who managed projects. Josh Blaine delivers a level of performance that exceeds the quality, responsiveness, and honest engagement of businesses with far more experience, staff, and resources. He is the one you want to hire. Period. read more

Incredibly Hard workers!!!! We found Josh's ad on Craigslist after getting some quotes from other landscapers within the area. A little skeptical due to the nature of Craigslist, we were blown away by the hard work of Josh and his team of 3 others. He is an incredibly personable person and you can tell he is motivated to do the best possible job he and his team can. We had an extremely large tree/brush removal project that overlooks a pond in our backyard, Josh came over at 8am with a team of ready-to-work guys. After analyzing the property and providing us with a prompt quote, we asked him if he could start immediately. He said "sure thing" and went outside and started working! They were in the yard from 8am until 9:30pm at night. After they left our house, they made sure to clean up the yard as best as they could, and after such a large project, they did a fantastic job not only cleaning up what we asked, but making sure the yard was cleaned up too. I am a firm believer in giving start-up companies a chance and we are super glad we found Josh. If we have any other landscaping services that we need done at the house, Josh will be our first call. We appreciate all that he does for the prices. We wish him the best of luck and hope to see his business become a leading landscaping business in the area. We have attached some pictures of his before and after work as well. 10/10! read more

I found Josh Blaine's ad on craigslist and called him about doing a spring cleanup for my yard in Clifton. He responded right away and after trading a few messages he arrived at the property within a couple of hours. He had a wonderful energy and enthusiasm as he walked the property with me and I described what I wanted to have done. I was so surprised when, after we agreed on a price for the job, he assembled his crew here within 20 minutes! They got to work right away clearing the property of mountains of leaves, dead branches, sticks etc. I liked Josh so much I asked him to spruce up a small bed near our pool. Within the hour he was at the nursery texting me pictures of plants with suggestions. Then he brought all the plants back and the crew arranged them, planted and mulched. It was a pleasure to have Josh and his crew working in the yard... They all had very positive, high energy. The work they did was top-notch, super efficient and Josh is just a genuinely good, hard-working young man. I can't say enough good things about him and his crew! read more

Josh and his crew were spectacular. In one afternoon, my front and back yard went from looking like an abandoned house to HGTV -worthy! They were really attentive and thorough. I would highly recommend them. Josh was very responsive by text. Pricing was reasonable. They came out, gave an estimate, and got right to work. They cleared out tons of weeds and leaves, got rid of straggly plants, including large thorny roses (a weed is any plant growing where you don't want it). They carefully weeded a bed of herbs, where the weeds looked like the herbs, by leaving the plants that smelled good. They divided and relocated happy plants to thrive. They planted boxes of bulbs I had ordered online in beautiful arcs and covered them with protective mulch -- which will be spectacular in the spring. (but it also looks pretty amazing now). So clean and pretty. I can't wait to have them come back in the spring to see the fruits (well, flowers) of their labors, and to do more excellent work. read more

Unbelievable work and customer service! Can't recommend this company enough. They took my overgrown backyard and front yard and made it look pristine in a short amount of time. Very professional, detail oriented. I hired them for a yard clean up and hedge trimming, they removed weeds and other bad things that I didn't even know were there! They covered everything in mulch and sculpted shrubbery - above and beyond what I was expecting. I reached out to several places for estimates, first place went into my backyard before letting me know they were here and didn't discuss options or what I wanted just sent me an online estimate, second didn't get back to me. Josh Blaine was the most responsive and ready to do the work on the spot. He scheduled time to meet with me, showed up promptly, and walked me through my yard to discuss options and what I wanted to have done, and was able to give me an estimate during the visit. read more

I'd recommend Blaine's to anyone. They did amazing work. I was in a bind with a disaster of a yard front and back and a had been let down at the last minute by a guy who was to do the clean up. I texted Blaines close to midnight and he responded and was at my house first thing next morning. He knew I had time constraints with visitors arriving soon but didn't use that to his advantage and worked with me to get the job done within my budget. I really respect him for that, knowing how that's scenario might have played out. My garden has transformed in a day and I wish I had before and after pictures. Amazing work by josh and his team. My husband who hates gardening... was shocked to see how beautiful everything looked. They even stacked up patio chairs and pots etc ... above and beyond... I will recommend Blaine's wholeheartedly giving them. 5 star rating! Thanks a million Josh !!! - Anne in Annandale read more

After trying to get a quote from a larger established company, I called Josh and he came out immediately. Josh's estimate was reasonable and well worth the price. I had a literal forest of weeds (3' ft tall) which I had been calling the other company to take care of for a month. He got to work with his crew immediately and was very professional. The workers were very polite and the most hard working guys ever. (They were interrupted by thunderstorms.) The work was complete, on time and exceeded all my expectations and very knowledgeable about the work. Expert clean up after and made sure everything was to my satisfaction. I would recommend them to anyone. This is an instance where supporting a small business was the best decision I made. read more

All We can say is WOW! Josh and His Super Crew are Landscaping ROCKSTARS! They blew our doors off with their never-ending work until our yard was in Military Spit-Shined Shape. Josh is a Very Upbeat Young Man. He and His Crew are Second to None and go the Extra Mile and then some. Josh's Crew took it upon themselves to weed, trim and mulch an area we didn't contract for. Josh is very accessible and You can reach him any time with any concern. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND JOSH AND HIS HARD-WORKING CREW! Our yard went from hard scrabble to a Welcoming Oasis! Can't wait to have our Morning Coffee on the Deck to smell the fresh mulch and gaze upon PERFECTION. Thanks, Josh & Crew! Rock On!!!! 06/22/19 Ralph in Annandale read more

If you're looking for landscaping--look no farther because you've hit the jackpot! Josh and his crew did an amazing job turning my jungle of a yard into a picture perfect yard that I'm proud to drive home to! Not only did he come out to do a free estimate but he also did the work the same day! Josh was friendly and professional throughout the entire process. He was thorough when explaining the breakdown of what the costs and services would be. He was flexible and wanted to make sure he understood what I was looking for. Josh and his crew are meticulous about their work and know exactly what they are doing. My neighbors saw what amazing work him and crew were doing and they all asked him for a quote on their yards! read more

Josh was seriously awesome to work with. He responded right away after I posted the job, and this wasn't some small project, it was a massive amount of rubber mulch that needed to be bagged and hauled off (thousands of pounds). He got started the same day he reached out, worked solo into the night, and then came back first thing the next morning to finish it up. The guy just doesn't stop. His work ethic is insane. On top of that, he's straightforward, doesn't waste time, and is more than fair when it comes to pricing and timelines. Everything was done fast, done right, and the cleanup was spot on. I'd absolutely recommend Josh to anyone, no hesitation. He crushed this job. read more

First time having a landscaping team remove leaves from our property and Josh knocked it out of the ball park. The backyard was to the point we couldn't see the grass and our dogs were losing balls under the leaves, along with the delayed drying that resulted in tracking mud and wet dirt into the house, it was a disaster. After a quick call from Josh, his team turned a full weekend job on my own at a portion of the quality, to a hour turnaround same day. We will absolutely use Josh again and refer him to anyone looking for landscaping services. The quality of service was beyond my expectations! If you're considering any yard projects, give Josh a call. read more

Josh & his crew did an awesome job with fall clean-up (leaf removal!) at our home. We have lived in our home for over 20 years and have always taken care of our leaves ourselves. But a busy fall combined with a back injury forced us to look for someone to do the job for us. Josh responded quickly to my request & was out to look at our property within 24 hours. His price was very good and his team got to work right away. Within 24 hours of reaching out to Josh, the job was complete & done right. My husband & 6 children may be out of this fall job next year! Josh is very personable and easy to work with. Highly recommend!!! read more

I can't say enough about Josh and his team. Josh came out at 830pm to give me quote and I was able to have the work done the next day. in the quoting process he explained all the details of what the team would be doing and why they would do it that way. he gave me insights that will save me on future landscaping efforts which I really appreciate it. Team showed up on time and went above and beyond. the attention to detail was fantastic. Josh was available to me from beginning to end and ensured that I was 100% satisfied before the crew left. I would use this company again and I would recommend them to friends and family! read more

Josh Blaine and his crew just finished up a massive clean up of our yard in Vienna. I found his ad/listing on Craigslist and called him. He came out that afternoon, gave us a fair quote, and started work immediately. We had multiple trees that had fallen, countless branches on the ground, and a bunch of bushes and ivy that needed clearing. In reading the other reviews, it seems that Josh has a great track record of cleaning up jungle-like yards. He can add our to the list of successful clean ups. He also took down several trees and hauled everything away. We would HIGHLY recommend Blaine's Landscaping for any size job. read more

I cant say enough about Blaine's Landscaping. They came out to my home in Reston that was bombarded with leaves I have called a couple of landscaping companies around my area and they never called back or even made attempt to reply. I guess they had other jobs.. I sent a text to Josh and he texted right back and let me know when he was coming over. His crew came out and made my yard look as new as spring! I even told all my neighbors, that is one thing that I rarely do but his friendliness and professionalism is one that i definitely vouch for. Thank you Blaines and I will use your services for future projects! read more

Josh Blaine was a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning and left me impressed with his "customer first" mentality. I needed edging, mulching, tree pruning and new grass seeding in my backyard and I couldn't be happier with the final product. Job well done and super fast. Not only did Josh come to my home quickly to discuss the projects I wanted done, he gave me a reasonable quote which was significantly lower than the other 5 quotes I obtained. I plan on calling Josh again soon for some more landscaping projects. You'd be wise to do the same for all your landscaping needs. read more

Highly recommend Blaine's landscaping. We had a poison ivy issue on part of our property. Josh was prompt on communication and was at our house within a few hours for an estimate and had his crew out that day to remove the poison ivy from the root - no chemicals needed. They worked fast and efficiently and solved a problem that would have taken so much time and effort (and probably several bottles of anti itch) had I tried to tackle on my own. Even with digging out the roots, the disturbance to the ground was as minimal as possible and we are so happy with the result! read more

Blaine's Landscaping did a fantastic job, we had them remove a tree in our front yard and remove a lot of excess tree rounds from a previous tree that was taken down in our back yard. The estimate was fair and the team did a great job, and once we were in the schedule everything happened as planned. They were very careful not to damage our lawn with the machines that used. I'd happily recommend you use this company... if any of my friends or family ask about landscaping, Blaine's is the company I will be referring them too. read more

I am so impressed!!! All I initially wanted was my yard mulched, but after bringing up the weeds in the yard and trees I was going to trim myself they gave me a fair estimate and it came out beautifully!!! Josh was so helpful explaining everything and even gave some ideas to make my yard look amazing in the near future. They worked fast and were so professional, really great people and great attitudes and I can tell they love what they do. I won't use any other landscaping service. Thank you Blaines Landscaping!!! read more
